Information Literacywhat is it?
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject
ourselves, or we know where to find
information upon it. Dr. Samuel
Johnson, April 18, 1775 Information literacy
is the ability to find the most accurate
information using a variety of sources such as
print and non-print materials which include but
are not limited to books, periodicals,
CD-ROMs, on-line databases, and the
Internet. By interviewing people,
utilizing surveys and through general and
specialized observation we may further
add to our knowledge base.

The purpose of preparing a Works Cited/
Bibliography, is to tell the reader where you
found the information for your research paper.
While MLA is only one citation style, it is the
one we will be referring to in this small
sampling. Other reference styles include APA,
Chicago, and Columbia which you can research at
your leisure. Book Authors name. Title of the
